The few of them continued to go up the tunnel, all the way silent in tacit understanding, and the atmosphere was extremely cold.

"I don't know if it's raining outside. The ape cave after the rain is very beautiful. I've been there once before..." Li Hong tried to liven up the atmosphere, but it didn't do anything except look awkward.

Li Hong scratched his head in frustration and stopped talking.

After walking for about half an hour, there were no longer clay sculptures of Buddha statues on both sides of the wall, but some lodging dark green weeds, and the entrance of the cave seemed to be not far away.Several people quickened their pace, and the cave was getting brighter and brighter under the sunlight, and the exit was in front of them.

"Although I know I shouldn't hit everyone, I still think we're going the wrong way." Lu Ming looked up at the top of his head, and the top was not the so-called hole at all, but a clear pool.The Qingtan is emerald in color, the water quality is clear, and there are lavender aquatic plants growing at the bottom, just like a piece of transparent emerald amber.

Lu Ming stretched out his finger and gently poked the bottom of the clear pool, causing ripples.

"We seem to be under the pond." Li Hong also stretched out his finger to poke, and the pond trembled slightly like elastic jelly.

Han Xi crossed his arms and stared at the top of his head motionless, "There seems to be a film at the bottom of the pool that separates the tunnel entrance, so the water doesn't seep in."

Brother Mei turned over in Lu Ming's arms, and yawned a long time, "I understand the truth, the key is how we get out, we can't go back the same way."

Han Xi touched the surrounding walls all over, but found no mechanism to get out.

"Look, the water is moving!" Hearing Li Hong's shout, everyone looked up one after another, only to see a giant silver tail constantly swinging in the air, sucking up the pool of water continuously. What remained were the withered aquatic plants and the film that gradually shrunk into countless twisted cracks.

Han Xi slammed into the film, tore open a hole big enough for an adult to pass through, and urged, "Get out!"

Everyone accepted the order and quickly got out.

The scenery outside the cave is really ordinary, surrounded by low hillsides covered by large areas of loess, with a few green plants growing sparsely on the surface.The hillside droops to form an elliptical pit valley. In the center of the pit valley is a plum-shaped emerald pool. At the tip of each flower stands a two-meter-long gypsum pillar with a triangular white flag hanging on it.There are more than a dozen rural courtyards around the deep pool, with thatched roofs and grass mud walls, which are incompatible with the world outside the mountain.

The pool water that was suddenly sucked up into the air fell back into the pool at a fast and fierce speed, forming a white water column.Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Ming and the others quickly ran to the shore, and barely landed until they were submerged up to their necks.

"Cough, cough, cough... I don't want to... explain it to here." Lu Ming knelt on the bank, spitting out the clear water that choked his mouth.

Han Xi on the side shook the wet clothes stuck to his skin, with a very displeased expression, and suggested, "Let's go to a nearby farmer to borrow some clean clothes."

Li Hong, who was also bothered by the wet clothes, nodded heavily, and the three quickly reached an agreement and walked towards the nearest farmhouse.

This is a relatively clean yard, with various vegetables growing on the left and right sides, and a simple gravel path in the middle, which is surprisingly comfortable to walk on.

"Is anyone there?" Lu Ming knocked on the closed door and waited for a long time without getting a response.

"Did you go out to do farm work?" Li Hong looked around, but there was no arable field where he could see.

At this time, a melodious voice came, gently tapping on the hearts of the three of them. "What are you guys doing?" Looking around, two young women came slowly from a distance. One was tall, fair-skinned, and charming. She was a standard beauty.The other is short and fat, with a sallow complexion and dull eyes. Compared with the woman next to her, the gap is not small.

"What on earth do you guys do?" This time it was the fat woman who asked, her voice was extremely hoarse and unpleasant.

Han Xi straightened his clothes and replied politely: "We were going camping, but we got lost and got here, and our clothes got wet. Could you lend us some dry clothes?"

The tall woman looked Han Xi up and down, and then looked at Lu Ming and Li Hong behind her. She didn't look like a young boy, her frowning brows slowly relaxed, and her tone was a little gentle, "So That's it, you come into the house with me first, and I'll find some clean clothes for you."

While talking, he invited the three of Lu Ming into the door, "Sit down wherever you want, there is tea in the pot."

Lu Ming picked an official hat chair, sipped tea and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, while Li Hong sat on the small bench next to Lu Ming, looking around the room curiously.Han Xi didn't enter the house, but stood in the yard and looked towards the hillside in the distance. There were a few thin threads on the top of the hillside, and a few black spots kept moving on it.

"Sister, is this dress okay?" The fat woman took out a big gaudy robe from the closet, and compared it in front of the tall woman.

The tall woman grabbed the big robe and stuffed it back, and scolded: "Surely not, how many times have I told you, don't take this dress." Sighing impatiently, she continued: "You are not needed here. , you go get them some water."

The fat woman pursed her lips aggrievedly, and ran out in silence.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, these are my father's old clothes, I don't know if they fit." The tall woman smiled and handed a pile of plain clothes to Lu Ming.

Although Lu Ming was very disgusted in his heart, he still maintained the demeanor on his face, "It's very good, thank you girl."

"By the way, what's your name, girl?" Lu Ming randomly took off the wet clothes on his upper body and began to put them on, completely ignoring the feelings of the young woman in front of him.

The tall woman didn't seem to shy away from it, she looked as usual, and replied in a low voice: "My name is Sun Ping."

"Bang-"

A loud noise broke the harmonious atmosphere between them, Lu Ming shivered in fright, very annoyed in his heart, secretly sarcastic: Ugly people make more troubles!

"Sun Xian, hurry up and pick it up!" Sun Ping stared at the panicked fat woman at the door, her cheeks flushed with anger.

The fat woman froze for a few seconds, then picked up the red washbasin on the ground and ran away.

Sun Ping took a deep breath, the corners of her mouth curved back to the original radian, and apologized to Lu Ming, "I'm sorry, she is my sister Sun Xian, and she is a little bit out of her mind, don't take offense."

Lu Ming waved his hand casually, obviously still angry.

"Miss Sun, what's this place?" At this time, Li Hong came out from the back room wearing a light gray short-sleeve and cropped black sweatpants.

Sun Ping covered her mouth and smiled, and replied, "This is Shanshi."

"Shanshi? What a strange name." Han Xi, who didn't know when she had changed, leaned against the door and looked at Sun Ping.

Sun Ping narrowed her eyes, and the smile on her face gradually deepened, "Well, because it is inconvenient for us to communicate with the outside world, we hold a big market on Beishan on the fifteenth of every month. Later, for convenience, we directly changed the name to Shanshi. gone."

"What's the matter with that pool?" Han Xi pointed to the pool not far ahead.

Sun Ping looked in the direction of Han Xi's finger, "That's the Wumu Spring, and we get all our domestic water from it."

"Wumu Spring, Wumu Spring..." Lu Ming repeated Sun Ping's words, "Do you have any explanation?"

"I heard that there used to be a dragon who stopped here to rest and dropped his eyes when he left, so this spring was formed." Sun Ping chuckled, "It's just a story to lie to children."

"But we..."

"Sister! Sister!" Lu Ming just wanted to ask, but was blocked by Sun Xian's broken voice, and he felt even more upset.

Sun Ping smiled apologetically at Han Xi and the others, angrily stopped Sun Xian from the gate, and whispered in a low voice four or five meters away from Han Xi.

"Lu Ming, did you want to ask about the silver tail just now?" Li Hong moved the small bench towards Lu Ming.

Lu Ming patted his stuffed stomach, not paying attention, "Yes, that might be a dragon's tail."

"I think it's better not to ask, because I feel that Miss Sun is not telling us the truth." Li Hong frowned, his thoughts were a little messy.

Just as Lu Ming wanted to refute, Han Xi also raised the same opinion, "Well, there is a problem."

……

"I'm sorry," Sun Ping leaned against the door frame, showing shame, "My father asked me to go back to the market right away, so..."

Han Xi nodded understandingly, "It's right that we interrupted, but since it's time for the market, we also want to buy something along the way." As he spoke, he winked at Lu Ming and Li Hong, and they immediately agreed.

Sun Ping smiled, "Of course." Turning around, she gave Sun Xian some instructions, and then led the three of them away.

"Is your sister not going?" Lu Ming looked at Sun Xian who was sitting on the stone pier in a daze, feeling a little pitiful for no reason.

Sun Ping glanced casually, and said lightly, "Housekeeping."

"Oh..." Lu Ming smiled silly, "But you and your sister look really different."

Sun Ping squeezed her fingers, but there was no response.

Lu Ming was confused by Sun Ping's indifferent attitude, and looked at Li Hong for help.Li Hong just shook his head at him with a helpless expression.

"Well, Sun, Ms. Sun, I'm fine..." Lu Ming hurried forward to explain, although he didn't know what was wrong.

"I see." Before Lu Ming could finish speaking, Sun Ping strode forward alone.

"What's going on?" Lu Ming pressed his face to Li Hong and asked in a low voice.

Li Hong rubbed his face, very speechless: "Some people say your sister is ugly, are you happy?"

"..."

Seeing Lu Ming's sad face, Han Xi suddenly thought of teasing him, put his arm on Lu Ming's shoulder naturally, and chuckled in his ear: "Actually, I really want to see you stimulate her."

Lu Ming was annoyed, and punched Han Xi hard in the stomach.Before he could escape, he was pulled by Han Xi into his arms, his entire back pressed against his chest, and his neck was tightly strangled by his elbows.

"Let go of him, he's almost out of breath!" Li Hong tried his best to pinch Han Xi's arm, but it didn't work.

"Han Xi, you...you bastard!" Lu Ming was a little uncomfortable, and bit Han Xi's arm with all his strength.Han Xi let him go in pain, and touched the tooth marks on his arm with a cold expression.

"What's wrong?" Sun Ping stared at Han Xi suspiciously.

Han Xi hooked the corners of his lips, "I was bitten by a little wolf dog, it's okay." After speaking, he stretched out his bloodshot arm in front of Sun Ping and shook it back and forth.

Sun Ping licked her lips, her voice was hoarse, "It's fine."
